What If The NFL Used CFB’s Playoff Format?

I wrote this exact article a year ago to emphasize how ridiculous it is for college football to limit their playoff invitations to only four schools. Well, here we are a year later, and it is still just as ridiculous. Some argue, I am not one of them, that the NFL should expand their playoff format from 12 teams to 16. At the current 12 team format, 37.5% of NFL teams make the playoffs. College football, by only allowing four teams into their playoff, only sees 3.15% of the 127 teams compete in the post-season.

Just for fun and debate I have taken the role of the committee and drafted ranked the top four NFL teams. It wasn’t easy last year and it isn’t an easier this year.
